Answer:

20, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller:   x

  larger:  2x - 16

x + 2x - 16 = 44

3x -16 = 44

3x = 60

x = 20

smaller:   x = 20

  larger:  2x - 16 = 2(20) - 16 = 24

Betty is making 6 skirts. Each skirt uses 2/3 of a yard. How many yards does she need?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

She needs 4 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply fractions, you just multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction.

<em>The numerator is the top number of a fraction.</em>

<em>The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.</em>

You can think of the whole number 6 as the fraction 6/1.

<h3>Step 1</h3>

Multiply 6/1 by 2/3

6x2=12

1x3=3

So, 6/1x2/3=<u>12/3</u>

<u></u>

<h3>Step 2</h3>

Now you need to simplify the fraction

Because the numerator is a muliple (number that can be devided by) of 3, devide the numerator by the denominator.

12÷3=4

<h2>So betty needs 4 yards of fabric to make 6 skirts.</h2>
